Chapter 3- An unwelcome guest

The clock ticked the only sound heard as eerie silence filled the room, the antique lamp placed on the wooden desk was the only source of light which illuminated the room. It had been a whole day since the two clashing individuals Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore moved in together.

Unfortunately something neither of them had any control over. To mark their one day anniversary of moving in together, a minute of silence was held at the cost of waking up early much to Damon's dismay.

Things had changed between them. To acknowledge that they were no longer strangers, but not quite the friendship level odd nicknames were created and exchanged between the two. Something Elena required some time to be accustomed to.

"Little Gilbert you done?" Damon glanced at her figure admiring her physique breaking the silence between them. He ruffled his hair and unbuttoned his shirt the top three buttons.

She glared at him with passion 'little Gilbert' she detested that nickname words could not describe how small his mere words made her feel. "Salvatore stop it."

"I'm sorry sweetheart, you have to choose it's either little Gilbert or sweetheart." He picked up the keys and his bag giving her an ultimatum to her displeasure. He observed her distorted expression and smirked at the sight of it. "Sweetheart it is."

"See this is why you don't have a girlfriend." She jabbed him with her sharp nails determined to have the last laugh. Her eyes shifted upon his chest appreciating his built body, she involuntary licked her lips.

"Like something you see?" He triumphed and approached her. He towered over her petite figure and tugged at her bun. "You look better with your hair loose it gives a girl an edge."

Strands of hair fell across her delicate face, a surge of blood rushed to her cheeks embarrassed by his nonchalant actions. "Let's just go or we'll be late."

"So is your relationship with him that good that you two walk together to school now?" Bonnie questioned an expression of delight present on her face.

It had only been ten minutes since she and Damon arrived at school and her friends were bombarding her with questions. She could trust Caroline and Bonnie with her little secret concerning Damon as for the rest of the female population she despised them with passion. They were like a swarm of bees following Damon if she were to tell them the truth she would be targeted for sure. The last thing she needed was to ruin her social life.

"Shut up Bonnie! The matter concerning Damon please keep quite about it...you too Care. I don't want anyone else to know only you two know about us, and I plan to keep it that way." She whispered to them for their ears only she glanced over at her timetable. "Urgh maths first period."

Caroline's ears perked up and she giggled at her friend unable to contain her laughter. "About that we may have indirectly told Stefan about your 'arrangement'."

"You did what?" Elena's voice rose disbelief evident in her voice the last thing she wanted was for Stefan to find out. What if he purposefully wanted to shove Katherine in her face? He now knows she lives with Damon this could not be good.

"Don't worry Damon kinda let it slip to him first in slang term of course, but Stefan being an idiot asked us about it...he was looking for you Elena he wanted to talk to you." Bonnie bit on her lip waiting for her reaction.

"Well you can tell that cheating whore to go to hell." She hastily responded failing to notice the presence of the younger Salvatore in the hallways as she walked towards her classroom.

"Did you hear that Stef? Cheating whore your ex-girlfriend is getting feisty don't you think?" Damon gloated hearing fragments of Elena's conversation.

"You made a fool of me Damon." Stefan charged towards his brother aiming his fist towards his face, stopping himself just in time. "You are not worth the trouble besides you already have bad news on your hands."

Damon shifted his eyes towards Stefan, providing him with a questionable look unsure of the meaning behind his words. "How exactly?" He demanded leaning against his locker.

"I received a call from the last person on earth you would want to see." He responded hoping his brother would catch on.

He eyed Stefan raising his fingers in front of his brother. "There are three people I definitely do not want to see ever again be more precise brother."

"The absolute number one on your list." He supported his weight on the locker ignoring the longing glances of females surrounding them. "Before you ask he is not in Mystic Falls...yet."

"Well that sucks."

"Finally classes are over." Elena sighed stretching her arms and breathing in the fresh air around her. "See you guys tomorrow." She chirped oddly she was in a much better mood partly the weather was to be thanked for it.

"Hey Gilbert." A voice interrupted her trail of thought, that voice belonged to one person and one person only the most hated girl in the whole school.

"April." She gritted displeasure evident on her face she really did not want to see the 'Queen Bee' right now especially since she was in a really good mood. "What do I owe the pleasure to be called out by you?" She forced a smile with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"I want to know why you and Damon are so close you two went to school together despite hardly ever talking to each other. I want to know what is going on. I demand it I mean what do you have that I don't?" The girl questioned pushing the delicate strands of her hair from her face.

This girl could not be more stupid why does she fawn over Damon when he doesn't even acknowledge her existence. "A brain perhaps." She muttered under her breathe looking for a quick escape. "Ah Salvatore I'm coming wait up." She spotted him from the corner of her eyes and immediately chased after him right before she linked arms with him in front of April.

"Elena what a pleasant surprise?" He gave her a questioning look and tried to tug his arm away, uncomfortable with the odd intimacy she was showing.

"You have something on your face why don't I take it off for you?" She pulled on his arm dragging his body down, so she could reach his hair. She scanned his face with her fingers and stole a glance at April and satisfied with her reaction she giggled.

Damon who was still confused looked in April's direction and finally gained an understanding of the situation. "Sweetheart I know you have the hots for me but not in public there are kids here."

"W-what?" She stammered a blush crept on her face and gasps were heard all around she felt someone glaring at her and she didn't need to guess who it was. "Let's get out of here before you do something stupid." Before he could even start protesting she grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the school building until they reached the school gates.

"What's wrong I was only playing along." He chuckled letting go of her hand whilst stroking her face. "I can tell you enjoyed it, you look like a tomato."

"Never. Ever. Do. That. Again. In. School." She stepped away from him and crossed her arms tense from the situation. "The last person I want to know about us living together is April and now she might start spying on us because she has a thing for you."

He raised an eyebrow examining her face for a hint of a particular emotion. "Oh are you jealous?"

"Don't kid yourself." She responded harshly failing to look at him in the eye. "I-I'm sorry I just I don't want anyone to know because if they do life would be hell for me especially with all the fans you have."

He ruffled her hair accepting her attempt at an apology and pointed at a nearby restaurant. "Want to eat? To get your mind off things?"

"...Sure I would like that." She smiled sincerely following him towards the designated path.

"Ladies first." He bowed before pulling the luxurious leather seat from its position to allow Elena to sit down. He hastily grabbed the menu memorising his order before passing the menu to Elena.

"You can drop the gentleman act Damon I mean you are with me and you already know what you want to order?" She queried focusing on the menu the food seemed foreign to her. She could just tell Damon now she didn't know what any of the things on the menu was but then her pride was getting in the way.

"It's not an act Elena I can be a nice guy people just assume the worst of me all the damn time. I am human Elena I too have normal emotions don't you forget that. Yes I know what I want to order I like it simple. Though you missy seem to be struggling." He leaned back on his chair deep in thought waiting for the waiter to approach.

"I know what I want to order and I do not need your help I'll have the sannakji." She passed the menu to the waiter who glanced at her oddly before nodding his head at Damon. 'I had no idea he felt that way Damon of all people I almost feel sorry for him.'

"I'll have the usual." He passed his menu to the waiter and stared at her he paused for a minute before speaking again. "You are too pitiful sometimes your pride getting in the way eh? If you needed my help you should have asked sweetheart."

Elena gave him an irritated look despite her best efforts Damon could just see right through her something Stefan couldn't do. "You both are so different it's so hard to believe you and Stefan are brothers." She paused admiring his body before continuing again. "You both look a lot different too."

"Oh really, in what way?" He questioned intrigued in the answer hoping what she said wouldn't be too insulting.

"Stefan is like a prince but sometimes I feel like it's an act that he's trying too hard he doesn't let me know his true self and what he's thinking. You...are the opposite you don't give a damn what people think, your actions hurt others but sometimes I feel more like myself with you and not someone who is trying too hard to impress you. You always see right through me." She took a breath after muttering her thoughts perhaps she was too blunt she just hoped Damon didn't take it the wrong way but why was it on her mind she had to refrain from spurting out her other thoughts that Damon made her feel like she was on fire, she didn't want him to laugh at her.

"That's because you are easy to see through to me anyway and I'm a horrible person I know that, but I'm not changing for anyone in the world. You know I wasn't always like this." He tucked his hair back staring intently in her eyes.

"T-then what happened to you Damon?" She immediately looked away unable to maintain eye contact with him especially with the way he was looking at her.

"I wish I could tell you but maybe one day right now we should eat our food." He smiled changing the subject grabbing his fork involuntarily upon seeing the food. "Let's dig in."

Upon the arrival of the food she noticed the delicacy and sweet aroma of Damon's food whilst staring blankly at her own. What on earth did she order? It seemed to be moving but it couldn't be maybe it was just her eyes playing tricks on her. She grabbed her fork and wrapped her food around it and closed her eyes placing the food in her mouth. "Oh this is...what the fuck is this?!" She spat out the food with a look of disgust present on her face.

"Oh I think that's live octopus?" He answered with his trademark smirk passing her a tissue. "Sweetheart you look like a mess clean yourself up."

"What...you knew what this was why didn't you tell me?" She demanded and gulped down on the lemonade she ordered to get rid of the taste. "Salvatore this is not funny."

"Oh but sweetheart it is hilarious besides you didn't need my help right?" He couldn't help but laugh at her. He grabbed his fork and divided his dish into two and placed half of his food on to her plate. "Here and next time don't let your pride get in the way besides some people like this food explore different cultures and break out of your little shell."

She fixed her eyes on to her plate and quickly consumed the food before licking her lips. "This is really good." She muttered under her breath, why was he being so nice to her now? One minute he teased her, the next he was cold, and then he would act like the perfect gentleman was he encouraging her to go beyond her comfort zone? She gazed at his expression hoping for a sign.

"Glad you liked it now let's go home it's getting pretty late." He placed a handful of cash on the table and grabbed on to her hand leading her out of the restaurant.

"So how are you and Jeremy doing?" A familiar blonde questioned.

After school ended she attended a freshers party with Bonnie which welcomed new students, but her other best friend was nowhere to be seen. She did have a strong suspicion she was with Damon but she was probably home by now after all it was 8pm.

"Fine, since when did you care about my love life Caroline Forbes?" She queried raising an eyebrow whilst flicking through her phone book.

"I always did but I just don't show it. When is the little Gilbert returning to the oh so great Mystic Falls?" Caroline hummed eyeing the path they were taking carefully after all they were taking the quiet path back to their dorm.

"Next week in fact I was hoping to throw him a welcome back party but Jeremy told me not to do that so yeah there goes that idea." She tightened her grip on Caroline's arm sometimes it was hard to believe her and Jeremy were so different yet so similar.

"Then I'll throw it." Caroline smiled her eyes immediately lightened up this was her fort anyone who knew Caroline Forbes knew one vital fact about her. She was great at throwing parties.

"But he'll get angry and-"

"That's why I'll be throwing it come on Bonnie you won't get into any trouble." She interrupted her before she could continue. Scanning the area she took a turn followed by Bonnie. From the corner of her eyes she noticed a youthful caucasian with a slim yet masculine build, delicate blonde curls and deep blue eyes.

"Fine but any blame will be on you got it?" She gave into her demands she noticed Caroline was distracted and shifted her eyes to the direction she was intently looking in. "What are you looking at? Oh, well isn't he cute." She smirked patting Caroline who looked as if she was in a trance. Although she was happy for her she couldn't help but receive an ominous feeling about him.

"He is just so hot." She snapped out of her trance and looked back at Bonnie.

"Caroline! Bonnie! Have you two seen Damon?" An unwanted voice rudely interrupted their conversation. "Please." Stefan huffed wiping the sweat from his forehead it looked as if he was searching for him for the past couple of hours. "I checked his apartment, school, the grill and no sign of him."

"I haven't seen him what's wrong Stefan?" Caroline asked concern written all over her face.

"Go and bug someone who cares if you think that we-"

"Now you listen Bonnie." He harshly interrupted her covering her mouth with his hand he had enough of her hate. "I get it you hate me but right now I need to find my brother and Elena is probably with him so she might be dragged into this mess so yeah it does concern you two. So you better fucking care!"

"Stefan cut it out." Caroline snapped, forcefully removing his hand away from Bonnie's mouth. "Okay we are listening spit it out."

"I need to find Damon I tried calling him but the idiot's phone is off. I mean I need to warn him that he...he's back. I saw him earlier and he's looking for Damon. I can't let him see Damon. He's heading straight for him." He hurriedly muttered his speech difficult to understand to both girls.

"Slow down who is after Damon?" Bonnie asked noticing the concern in Stefan's voice.

"Curly blonde hair, deep blue eyes, pale skin, black tux with a stripped tie ring a bell?" He answered them vaguely whilst scanning the streets for a certain figure.

"I-I saw someone just like him right over...oh he's gone but he was there just a minute ago." Caroline sighed tugging at her wavy locks.

"Shit."

"Finally home." Elena smiled after seeing the sight of their apartment for the first time in a long while she was happy and she was smiling like it was the easiest thing in the world.

"Indeed you better rest you seem exhausted." Damon pulled out both the keys and his phone switching it on. He unlocked the apartment door and his eyes widened from the amount of missed calls and texts he received.

"You coming in?" She stepped back outside seeing him motionless for a minute wondering why he wasn't moving. "Damon?"

"What the hell is 'don't go back he's here' supposed to mean? Baby bro you can be so stupid at times." He gritted and clenched his fists he noticed the sound of a car engine right across the apartment and noticed a familiar black convertible. "Get inside now." He demanded his eyes widened upon realisation.

"What's wrong tell me." She muttered placing her petite hands on his face searching his eyes for an answer all she saw was confusion and panic.

"Get inside now don't ask questions just go." He responded bitterly removing her hands frightening her. "Just do it."

"But Damon what has gotten into you?" Panic was seen in her eyes she stepped away from him before nearing him again. "No."

"No?" He glanced at her she looked so vulnerable she was either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave for doing that.

"No. I am not letting you push me away just after we started getting along." She looked him straight in the eye.

She was insane couldn't she be obedient for once he just wanted her to do one little thing but no she refused. "This is not up for discussion get your ass inside right now." He pushed her inside with full force and locked the door. He heard her screams it was difficult to ignore but he had to do it. For her own safety. "I'm sorry sweetheart but you should have listened."

"Oh isn't this a pleasant surprise Damon Salvatore in bed with a kid." A thick British accent muttered, the male was only a step away from the older Salvatore their physiques evenly matched.

"Leave her out of this what are you doing here?" His voice sharp and blunt his look of displeasure darkened the atmosphere.

"Here I thought I would be welcomed with open arms well since you asked nicely no." The blonde male smirked upon seeing Damon's vulnerable expression.

"I don't want you here you should go." Damon snapped as his eyes flared.

The blonde swiftly latched his arms on to the older Salvatore's neck in an aggressive manner refusing to let go. "Nothing personal mate I just came to collect hope you remember the deal."

"Who could forget that...Klaus."

A/N: Klaus is here! Sorry if I ended it like that I know I suck. So your thoughts on this chapter? Yay or nay? What do you think this deal is? What do you think the relationship is between Klaus and Damon?
